Planeta Cerasuolo di Vittoria 2006
Sicily, ItalyPlaneta has hit a home run with Cerasuolo. The first DOCG wine in Sicily is a 60/40 blend of néro d'Avola and frappato. The fruit is fabulous - red berries and strawberries - the texture smooth and mysteriously pinot noir like. The finish is long ands stylish with spice and licorice undertones. Very impressive wine for the money. Try it with grilled shellfish. Tasted: 03 October 2007Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:BC | $32.00 | 750ml | specialty listing |
